Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The first collection of Rathlin Island folk tales in print, reworked from recordings made by local hero Tommy Cecil. Swept by strong ocean currents and ferocious storms, Rathlin Island is mysterious and hauntingly beautiful. Lying just six miles off the north coast of County Antrim, it is the most northerly inhabited island of Ireland. It was once home to prehistoric hunter-gathers. Its inhabitants have endured Viking raids, medieval massacres, famine and emigration. They have always been farmers, fishermen and seafarers. They are resourceful, independent and proud, and they have always enjoyed a good story. Drawing on Irish and Scottish traditions, Rathlin has a rich folk heritage which may have been all but lost but for one man. Tommy Cecil, most famous for rescuing Sir Richard Branson after his hot-air balloon ditched into the dark swirling waters off Rathlin, was instrumental in saving the island's stories. Taken from recordings held in Ulster Folk Museum, this unique book brings his stories and those of other islanders to print for the first time. AUTHOR: Colin Urwin is a full-time professional storyteller, folk musician and singer-songwriter. He has appeared at hundreds of events and festivals all over Ireland, the UK, Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. He has broad media experience, having written features for local newspapers regarding his storytelling and songwriting, and has appeared on many productions for both radio and television. He is a committee member of both the Glens of Antrim Storytelling and Cultural Heritage Group and Storytellers of Ireland, and an Artistic Director of the Waterways Community Story-Making Festival. He lives in County Antrim. 10 b/w illustrations Drawing on Irish and Scottish traditions, Rathlin Island has a rich folk heritage which may have been all but lost but for one man. Taken from recordings held in Ulster Folk Museum, this unique book brings Tommy Cecil's stories and those of other islanders to print for the first time Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
